**Promise of Green by Ivo Dominguez, Jr**
Joy in the gold buds of spring
Passion in the greening leaf
Joy in the rising day
Passion ‘neath the glowing moon
Come swelling tides of spring
Fill me with the promise of green
**Show Me the Way by Christine Laplante**
Show me the way, show the way,
Show me the way that I must walk.
Let me be brave, let me be brave,
Let me be brave as I open my heart.
Let my legs be strong, let my heart be open,
Let my legs be strong, let my heart be open.
**Opening Up**
We are opening up to the sweet surrender
Of the luminous love light of the one (repeat)
We are opening
We are opening (repeat)

Death Cafe 1.21 Rescheduled for 1.28
Our first Death Cafe of the year is rescheduling to Sunday, January 28th due to weather concerns. We thank you for your understanding.
Death Cafes normalize discussions about death in the most comfortable and human way possible…with cake. The goal of a Death Café is to increase awareness of death and in so doing help people make the most of their finite lives. Sessions are not grief counseling or group therapy; they are merely gatherings of humans supporting other humans, and eating cake.
Death Cafés were founded in the UK, and there are now thousands of Death Cafés worldwide. We are proud to be part of a growing death positive movement that believes, “Honest conversations about death and dying are the cornerstone of a healthy society.”
Recommended donation of $10 per session, or a dish to share. Please bring cash or visit FrederickUU.org/give. Click “To Donate click here.” Select “Adult Spiritual Enrichment.” Write in your donation amount, select “once, now” from the “Frequency” drop-down, and write “Death Cafe” in the Note box.
